What does megagram per liter measure?

Megagram per liter measures density as mass per unit volume, specifically one megagram of mass in one liter of volume.

Why convert megagram/liter to slug/cubic foot?

This conversion helps translate very high density values from scientific SI-based units to customary units used in engineering and fluid dynamics.

Is megagram per liter suitable for everyday density measurements?

No, megagram per liter is used for extremely large densities typically found in fields like astrophysics or high-pressure physics, not everyday contexts.
